money to be a victim.

Identity
theft is real.
Any kind of deception, scam, or crime that
results in the loss of personal data, including
the loss of user names, passwords, banking
information, credit and PAN card numbers,
etc., that is then used without your permission
to commit fraud and other crimes.
Get serious
Not scared.

How it occurs?
Phishing emails, lottery and job scams
Download malware onto computers or
smartphones that steals information
Connect to wireless networks that are insecure
Take out money from an ATM that has been
rigged with a skimming device
Share passwords with untrustworthy people
Information stolen from e-commerce and other
sites you frequently visit, etc.
